Olight PL-2 Valkyrie VS Streamlight TLR-HL Night Shots

[@texanmarksman7879]

4:50 correction. Either paddle can do momentary or constant beam depending on how u press the button on the PL-2.

[@Gamble9110]

TexanMarksman correct! How did he not realize that...??? I don’t consider the pressure paddle switch system a draw back at all. They are nice and tactile with an audible click so you have a troubleshoot point if you press and get nothing. If it clicks and no light... no question as to wether or not it made full contact. Absolutely love the light!!

[@bigaarmory100]

I’m not sure that you can go wrong with either of the lights however I do have the Olight PL-2 and have no complaints about it whatsoever. For me the brighter the better, brighter beam for surveying your property or brighter beam for blinding and disorienting an intruder in your home prior to you using your gun for it’s intended purpose.

[@zSotelo1147]

BigAArmory do you run it on a handgun? If so what holster do you use,

[@bigaarmory100]

Johnny Sotelo - I have the PL2 mounted on my Glock 17 and use a Fobus RBT17 holster which is an OWB holster. The Glock 17 is my bedside gun but the holster works great for me at the farm.

[@rossauce12]

U can make the olight wo5h a pressure switch too. It mounts very securely to the charging area. Check out the baldr. I have the pro r

[@leethomas556]

Move your front sight back and mount the light on top...it will stay cleaner and the light becomes more ergonomic and ambidextrous

[@kenk4555]

Tell me how you really feel about that chrome ring 😂

[@bizoyd29]

Ken K lmao! " this chrome ring is so stupid"

[@kenk4555]

bizoyd29 I agree, it’s just flat out stupid. It also annoys me how most of the rails, optics mounts, etc, on the market these days have bright white billboards on the side of them. It looks stupid imho.

[@paulbonenberger8925]

I don’t see how it makes a difference. If you have the light on someone already can determine your position and if they are in front of the beam they can’t see it. And if your that worried just use black marker on it.

[@rubykaufman5361]

Damn quit whining!

[@DB.KOOPER]

I hate to sound harsh of the guy but that was one of the dumbest, most tacticool complaints I've ever heard. I agree that I;d prefer it be all black but... the idea that it's going to be noticeable to an assailant is just plain dumb, no two ways about it. Still a good review.

[@roguefive512]

Have you ever consider getting a linear comp (KVP) rather than the muzzle brake? just saying save your ears and the guy next to ya will be happier.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Good review and comparison!

[@jessarellanes6648]

I just got one, olight had a special for 50. Bucks, so awesome bro

[@tsafa]

What is the Candela number on that? That's a more important number for the ability to throw the light at a distance. What's the price?

[@DB.KOOPER]

Been using Streamlight in the Fire/Rescue industry for years but I carry Olight daily (SR bator and Warrior now). I'm going to upgrade to a TLR7 on my G19 (the shape/size is perfect, I can't stand the TLR-1 on a 19 as I carry IWB at ~0430) but I'm REALLY thinking of running one of these Valkyrie's on my recent 11.5" pistol build, Thanks for the review, even if you were a little obsessed with a cosmetic feature and kind of implying it was a "tactical" concern LOL. Still, a much appreciated review.

[@trailertrashtactics]

Look into the olight pl mini 2 for your glock. The tlr7's buttons suck and they're so far ahead you really have to change your grip to make it work. Mini 2 has 100 more lumens and has nice lever/buttons like a tlr 1 hl. So the olight mini 2 is the best of both worlds. Plus its rechargeable! I'm replacing my tlr 7 with it. No brainer.

[@swedeman5824]

from what I understand streamlight does not recommend using a "tool" to tighten the light it only needs to be tightened finger tight due to the way the gun "latches" to the rail. I did have to use a "tool" to loosen it out of the box

[@rezdog187]

Yeah maybe in a laboratory but in the real world tlr1 comes loose every time you don't use a tool to tighten so either fix it streamlight or you'll have to use a tool.

[@johnimperial9777]

Does brightness drop on stremlight ?

[@CTROCK]

These are the two light I was thinking which one to buy! At the end I bought the streamlight trl1 hl! I was going to buy the Olight at first because it is 1200 lumen.The Olight get hot to quickly and I don't like how the way the Olight clapping on to the guns! From the videos the Olight is not that much more powerful than the streamlight.

[@jtk917]

Can you use a pressure switch with the olight?

[@imstricken06]

JT K nope

[@jtk917]

@@imstricken06 thanks for the quick reply. Looks like ill be going with streamlights tlr :( a light as powerful as the valkyrie should be pressure switch compatible! Do you know of any other similarly powerful (800+ lumens) in a similar design besides streamlights tlr?

[@imstricken06]

JT K surefire. But get ready to shell out some serious money. It’s a tiny step up from stream light but idk if it’s worth the money. Stream light is build for every police/firefighter/ems use. Surefire is build for war b

[@78ULTRAMAR]

Good review, thanks.

[@markwelch7125]

How similar are the lights dimensions. Curious if the olight would work in place of the trl-1 in a omivore holster

[@thecanterburyjambon1368]

I know you asked a while back, but I see nobody gave you an answer. I have both lights, and the omnivore; no the Olight DOES NOT secure your pistol into the holster.

[@BlueSpud711]

Is there a way to swap the button functions? I mount my lights on top of my rifle and would prefer the constant-on button on the right side (so it'll be on the left when it's upside down).

[@pronerider5626]

I'm sure you know by now, But wither side will do constant on. It's just the amount of pressure you apply. A light hold will do momentary, A hard press will do constant on wither side.

[@3percentmick705]

The ring on the TLR does actually serve a purpose. I do wish it wasn't chrome also though.

[@imstricken06]

3 Percent Mick its a patent marker against poss copies

[@3percentmick705]

ImStricken06 BOOM! Exactly!

[@harrisong5023]

[@tst9422]

Does PL-2 fits on the same holsters as tlr?

[@henryjon45able]

LOL 10 + Streamlight products, I remember my first beer, good review tho

[@randolphcirilo4800]

What rail covers do you use?

[@SAR0311]

TLRs are very easy to ND light.

[@pronerider5626]

I could see that, Any slight grip adjustment could push the lever up or down. That's a great point.

[@jovanniballardo]

What's wrong mounting it on the bottom rail?

[@andychanny]

LMFAO. The silver ring gives me away when I am going around corners, silliest shit I've heard in a long time. Really? HL is 800 lumens, not 600.

[@michaelbyrneskiai]

When hes doing black ops with seal team 6 that chrome ring will give his sniper position away.

What rail covers are you using on the AR?

[@imstricken06]

scottg77r these are the oem daniel defense covers. Came with the rail. Love them. They hold up well to the heat

[@rezdog187]

Everyone saying not to use a tool on tlr1 has never operated outside their mom's basement. You definitely need to tighten tlr1 with a tool

[@pronerider5626]

My only question and I apologize if it's been answered already, But why wouldn't you trust it to go to war? I mean, It's bright, It's reliable, It has obviously held up to the abuse you put it through. So the only 2 things I can think of are the switch cap and the fact that (this is a big one for me personally) it takes 123s instead of something more standard like a AA. I'd rather squeeze 3 AA's into it than 2 123's. Just because of the obvious fact that AA can be found everywhere. But other than that, Watcha got? I want to learn something. I just picked one up from my coworker, But don't have (2) 123's. Shitload of AA though. 😂 So I have to order the batteries. Subbed btw. Great video!

[@treier1589]

The streamlight looks brighter... the olight is 1200lm and after a few seconds drops down to about 600

[@Danny7930]

Christopher S 1200 peak not 1200 constant, I choose streamlight... much better name brand and quality. I don't give a shit how it looks as long as it does the job when I need it.

You do NOT use a screwdriver on Streamlight. You are suppose to use a pair of synthetic gunsmith pliers or other pliers that will not mar the metal surface.

[@imstricken06]

SGT ROCK ya, a light built for war, im going to give a shit about a synthetic flat tip to not mar the surface. I dont baby my guns. They are used and trained with aggressively.
